About the Author

I've lived my entire life in the Milwaukee area; born and raised here. I'm a grad of St. Barbara's grade school and Don Bosco High School. I earned an Associate Degree from the old MIT (now MATC) and a B.S. in Production Management from Marquette U. But one thread runs through my whole life: sports! My first job was with the ground crew for the Milwaukee Braves. (My most embarrassing moment came on the ground crew, but you'll have to ask me about that!) I've played on company softball teams and have managed a men's softball team for forty years. Although the Milwaukee Brewers are my main interest, I also follow the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Bucks faithfully. My wife Trish and I have been married over fifty years and she has gracefully allowed me to indulge my love of sports over the years. We have three children: Leslie (now deceased), Tom and Neal. Our grandchildren Brody, Jenna, Caleb and Faith give light to our lives.
